The cytoskeleton maintains cellular structure, builds appendages like flagella and, together with motor proteins, powers cellular movement, transport, and division. Microtubules are a critical component of the cytoskeleton, vital for cell division and, because of that, an excellent target for chemotherapy drugs.http://phys.org/news/2016-01-microtubules-self-organization-cells.html

They suggest stripping away electrons from ions to reduce the negative effects of stray fields that reduce the performance of current atomic clocks.http://phys.org/news/2012-11-physicists-atomic-clocks-accurate.html

Due to their special properties, dust acoustic waves can propagate inside these plasmas like sound waves in air, and can be studied with the naked eye or with standard video cameras. The Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum physicists Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Padma Kant Shukla and Dr. Bengt Eliasson from the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy have published a model with which they describe how large amplitude dust acoustic waves in dusty plasmas behave. http://phys.org/news/2012-10-saturn-physicists-nonlinear-acoustic-dusty.html
Plasma Physics Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:09:13 ESTnews269611733Mathematician announces that he's proved the ABC conjecture(Phys.org)—In all of history there are very few names that stand out in the field of mathematics, at least among those not in the field: Euclid, Newton, Pythagoras, etc. This is likely due to several reasons, chief among them is that math is so seldom used by most people and the fact that its use in other sciences causes the underlying concepts to become overshadowed. That might change if what Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University is claiming is true; that he has written a proof of the ABC conjecture. To mathematicians it's akin to the Grand Unified Theory of physics, a proof that would tie together most of the fundamental ideas in the field into one neat, fully explainable bundle.http://phys.org/news/2012-09-mathematician-abc-conjecture.html

General Physics Fri, 07 Sep 2012 07:59:51 ESTnews266223577Making magnetic monopoles, and other exotica, in the labPhysicist Shou-Cheng Zhang has proposed a way to physically realize the magnetic monopole. In a paper published online in the January 29 issue of Science Express, Zhang and post-doctoral collaborator Xiao-Liang Qi predict the existence of a real-world material that acts as a magic mirror, in which the never-before-observed monopole appears as the image of an ordinary electron. If his prediction is confirmed by experiments, this could mean the opening of condensed matter as a new venue for observing the exotica of high-energy physics.http://phys.org/news/2009-02-magnetic-monopoles-exotica-lab.html
